Google PAC-MAN playable logo gets permanent reprieve

Google’s PAC-MAN logo was one of the best surprises of last week, and faced with masses of appeals Google have done the only sensible thing and made it a permanent home. The playable doodle was only meant to be live for two days, but by “popular demand” Google have set it up permanently at www.google.com/pacman.

As before, you can load a single player game by clicking on Insert Coin and using the arrow keys to move PAC-MAN. If you’ve a touchscreen device, like a smartphone or even an iPad, you can control it by tapping and swiping the screen. Hit Insert Coin a second time, meanwhile, and you can load a two-player game with Mrs PAC-MAN, controlling her with the WASD keys.
